Field Installation and Maintenance
Inspect the connector and patch lead before installation, then support the fiber without pulling on the module housing. Release the latch properly during maintenance and keep dust protection on unused interfaces. If a module is removed for later use, retain its part-number label and record its original port. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate Dual Rate 10Gbps and 25.78Gbps, wavelength 850nm, rated reach 100m on OM4 / 70m on OM3 at 25G100m on OM3 at 10G.
Applications and Optical Link Design
Typical deployments include switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and aggregation links inside a data hall or between adjacent equipment rooms. The Duplex LC interface connects to the specified multimode cabling, and the stated reach depends on fiber grade and link loss. Keep this interface on the matching multimode optical standard rather than connecting it directly to a single-mode wavelength or reach variant.
Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 25G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a SFP28 housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.
The multimode channel should use the fiber grade associated with the stated 100m on OM4 / 70m on OM3 at 25G100m on OM3 at 10G reach. Keep the Duplex LC end faces clean and avoid tight bends. Different multimode standards are not interchangeable merely because they share a connector.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -8.4~2.4dBm; the stated optical power budget is 1.6dB. Digital diagnostics make later maintenance easier when baseline values are captured at installation. Save the initial readings with the port and OEM reference, then investigate meaningful changes rather than reacting to a single transient value. Diagnostic support depends on the host as well as the module, so unavailable fields should be confirmed with the platform documentation. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
NVIDIA/Mellanox Compatibility and Factory Testing
The module is checked for host recognition as MMA2P00-AS, link establishment and diagnostic reporting. Physical cage fit alone is not treated as evidence of compatibility. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original NVIDIA/Mellanox transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies MMA2P00-AS, not an original NVIDIA/Mellanox-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use Duplex LC with MMF. The specified maximum reach is 100m on OM4 / 70m on OM3 at 25G100m on OM3 at 10G, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
Ordering Information
Quote HT part number SFP-25GMSR-85 together with OEM reference MMA2P00-AS and quantity. Add the host model and software release when pre-order verification is required. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
